Levante Vs Cayenne Which Is the Better Performance SUV?

Sports car brands like Maserati are diversifying, realising that there’s profit to be made from applying their premium badges to luxury off-roaders.

The Levante is the Italian company’s first SUV and it has arrived in the UK with a competitive £54,335 price tag and a V6 diesel that should be cost-effective to run. Yet it offers the exclusivity of a Maserati in a more practical package than the firm’s usual low-slung sports cars and saloons.

From purely a reliability standpoint - the Porsche should have no problem in this matchup. It is possible that the Maserati could outperform the Porsche between breakdowns - the question is whether the Maserati would actually NOT break down long enough to finish a quarter mile test. And TONY must be dead by now too!

Well let's see...one is essentially a Dodge Magnum with an awkward body and the other is a VW Touareg with a 911 caricature body. The Maserati is made in Italy where quality, durability, and reliability are not cultural values. Hmmm....give me the VW Cayenne.

I'm thinking the Levante platform definitely is not a variation of the LS/LX platform.

@dumpsty then you'd be wrong. The Levantate is crossover body on the Qporte/Ghibli platform which is 90% Chrysler 300. What I have just said is widely known.
